It used to be something like...
Before every season the physicians do a base test on each player.
Once put in protocol the player must then match that base test before being allowed to return and have none of the lingering symptoms associated with brain injuries.
That could be as soon as today, or it could be 6 months away. Not all concussions are the same.
No idea if this has changed but in any situation, independent physicians will make the final call.
